House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Emergency Departments Emergency Departments Mr PICTON House of Assembly Kaurna Emergency Departments Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:54): My question again is to the Premier. Is the Premier aware of reports from clinicians that in the past week there have been many mental health patients stuck in emergency departments for a number of days at a time and, if so, what is he doing to address that? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Emergency Departments The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:55): I am more than aware of the problems that exist in our emergency departments in South Australia. All members of this parliament should make themselves aware of the situation. It is completely unacceptable, and we are taking action to address that situation as quickly as possible for the reasons that I have outlined in my previous many answers so far today in question time.
